[QUOTE="CWT Angus, post: 631515, member: 1509"] Every 4 hours- 24 hours a day. More often with heifers or cows that are showing me signs that they are very close. If we just have a few that are cows that are close, we can see into the calving shed at the bottom of the hill from the house. I leave just a regular lightbulb on during the night which is just enough to see if all is quiet or not and the positions of the cows (with binoculars). They are not locked into the shed, but sometimes it works just right & they choose to sleep in there. Occasionally I get a break from having to go down there multiple times during the night. When we have too many due or we have heifers, we fill both barns. Then I spend a lot of time in the truck @ the barn. 2 hours of good sleep is much better than laying there worrying & wondering if all is ok. [/QUOTE]
